'Digital fortress' is one among the few writings of the controversial writer of the Da Vinci Code 'Dan Brown'.It is one book which will make you flip like through the pages like a nutcase and will give you goosebumps.Indeed it is a true thriller.The suspense that slowly builds up through out the book,comes to a thrashing end at the ending.And i think this is what makes this book so much more exciting.It is one of the best books i have ever read and in my opinion it is even better than all other books of Dan Brown,even better than the controversial two.
The plot is created surrounding NSA and its finest decrypting machine.The problem arises when this machine fails to decrypt a message from the Japanese guy Ensei Tankado.Then NSA puts Susan Fletcher to look through the problem,as it becomes a vital one:Ensei Tankado threatens to make the code public by selling it to the highest bidder. David Becker, a professor and Susan's boyfriend is sent to locate the key to Spain when Ensei Tankado dies.Thus the story rolls on.Finally the worst fears of the NSA becomes true as they figure out that the message is actually a dangerous virus which entered the machine as the firewall was switched off to let the message in.
Though the context is complex one does not need to be an expert in those sectors to enjoy the book, that's the beauty of it.
It is a marvelous novel and if you haven't read this yet you have truly missed out on a lot.Happy Reading! Thrillers.
